Reid bill: 16M uninsured U.S. citizens pay a penalty tax. 8M uninsured illegal aliens do not.

Under Leader Reid’s amendment, in the year 2019 about 16 million U.S. citizens would be uninsured and be forced to pay a penalty tax of almost $800 per year. About eight million illegal aliens would be uninsured and would owe no penalty tax. Both groups would get their health care through a combination of out-of-pocket spending and use of uncompensated care in emergency rooms and free health clinics.

This seems unfair.

Of course the libs treat illegal aliens better than US citizens that don't buy insurance.

Maybe that’s why Obama will not show his birth certificate: to avoid citizen punishment tax and to avoid the no healthcare insurance penalties! Insider trading. LOL

I sure hope Venezuela, Cuba, and Syria are ready for the influx of Democrats that will be seeking asylum soon.

Very soon.

It would be nice if people stopped funding things like this

The BVM research revealed many other troubling connections. It showed several CCHD grant recipients in support of Obamacare, and several affiliated with other liberal institutions such as Mobilize the Immigrant Vote (MIV), which promotes abortion and same-sex marriage.

http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/culture/family/2373-catholic-bishops-fund-abortion

More than a dozen organizations have joined BVM in the Reform CCHD Now Coalition to boycott the donation appeal scheduled in parishes nationwide on November 22. The Catholic network EWTN hosted Gasper and Michael Hichborn of American Life League on November 13. “How are these groups getting through the cracks?” Hichborn posed. “We’re asking for complete and total reform of their grant-writing process.” Gasper added, “In the meantime, we have a coupon that people can print out” to include in place of a donation in this weekend’s collection plates.

Really?

I think conservatives better look for another country. Read the histories of Russia, China, Cuba, and other Marxist countries. They will hunt us down.

Remember. Under the healthcare bills, the Democrats will have complete access to health AND bank records. They will be able to see who donated to Republican candidates, FreeRepublic, etc.

Prediction - more Republicans will be denied healthcare than Democrats.

These people are evil and obsessed with minorities and immigrants.

We have 2 things they don't:

1) The God of Abraham

2) All the guns

I rest my case as to who should fear whom.

Nice thought.

But everyone will chicken out and bow to Obama. America has lost its vision and is dying.

Only half. The really stupid half that needs to die anyway. The half with the (D) after their names.

The rest of us have decided not to go quietly into that Stalinist night.

Fireworks to begin soon.

***Let’s At Least Call It What It Is: BRIBERY***
Stardate: 0911.21

Posted on Saturday, November 21, 2009 6:49:14 AM by The Wizard

We may have to put up with a congress that has some prostitutes, but let’s at least call it what it is: Bribery.....

I remember the old days when regular folks went to jail for such things on the radio: play my record I’ll build you a pool....get caught and get fired....

But today we even practice reciprocal bribery: I give you 100 million, you throw me a fund raiser....my, my how we have grown.....

And the real sweetner in this is that these criminals use OUR money to do the bribing......Bowow and Peeelosi bribe the house and Bowow and Reid bribe the senate.....with OUR money to vote AGAINST what we want....

And they wonder if Madame President is good enough or smart enough to be a part of that......I’m amazed she cares enough about WE THE PEOPLE that she would even bother...

At least with a Whore you are getting something you want......with these people you are getting something you don’t want shoved down your throats and paid for with your own money.....

Some in Congress give prostitution a bad name, and I appologize to the hard working women in the “adult services” field for any slight I might suggest by placing some congress people on the same level....they clearly don’t raise that high.

That is the future. For US citizens, ironclad laws, regulations, and taxes. For illegals, wink wink, nudge nudge => move along, nothing to see here. Basically, two societies living side by side. Actually, here’s a better analogy: One organism with two parasites living on its back (Government and illegals), slowly sucking the life out of it.
